I went with DigitalOcean because their API is what allows the 
provisioning process to be automated which means less time spent by 
humans setting things up. The only way this was going to work for me is 
if the basic ordering process was 100% automated with me only tending to 
the one-offs or odd failures. DigitalOcean charges $5 per month for 
their base VPS (https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/) which is where 
the $60 a year comes from.
Using a VPS provider that requires a manual order each time as well as 
manual setup of the Tor client (even if using something like salt or 
ansible you still need to run a command) just didn't make sense for a 
side project.

I appreciate all of the feedback but it seems as if this project doesn't 
make sense yet so I'll probably shut it down and put it on the self 
until a better solution can be determined (if at all).
